Elk River <br />Municipal <br />13069 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />April S, 2005 <br />ities <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />John Dietz <br />James Tralle <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />Subject: Miscellaneous Issues <br />763.441.2020 <br />l~~ax: 763.941.8U99 <br />Enclosed is the packet for Tuesday, April 12, 2005 commission meeting at 3:30 p.m. <br />We have been experiencing some voltage flicker problems from our West Bank #2 <br />Substation. The transformer has been de-energized and Utility Plus (a local testing <br />organization), is looking for the problem. Glenn will provide more information at the <br />staff update. <br />The Johnson Street water tower is being filled and placed back into operation in <br />preparation to empty the Hillside Tower so it can be repaired and painted. The Johnson <br />Street water tower is generally taken off line during the winter due to low usages. If it <br />would be left in operation, we risk the possibility of freezing up this tower. <br />Enclosed is the following information for your review. <br />a) Memo to Michele McPherson, Director of Planning, concerning the <br />School Districts desire to utilize the irrigation well on the proposed <br />elementary school site in eastern Elk River. <br />b) Article taken from March 2005, ASCE News titled, "Nation's <br />Infrastructure Receives a "D" in ASCE's 2005 Report Card." <br />c) Questionnaire used at the Elk River Chamber Business Expo, completed <br />by visitors who wanted a free CFL (compact fluorescent light bulb). <br />Vance Zehringer authored this questionnaire and it is a wonderful education <br />tool. The Expo was April 3, 2005 and well attended. We had a lot of <br />activity at our booth and gave away approximately 350 bulbs. We also <br />received some good leads for security systems. <br />
